It's not pure blue, now, either, and more to the point, the Democrats in the California electorate are not a hive mind of stereotypes. > But the effort the parent described is from 2004, so what matters are the politics of modern CA. The Norquist-before-Norquist Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is one of the most powerful political forces in modern California, too. (Also, in 2004, California was less bright blue than modern CA; it had just recalled the Democratic governor and elected a Republican replacement, after all.)
